He played major roles in surveillance of an early British Fascist party as well as the main Communist Party. He penned numerous books about natural history and animals. After his death, the Maxwell Knight Memorial Fund was set up, which provided for the Maxwell Knight Young Naturalists' Library in the education centre of the Natural History Museum. After Knight's death, a wildlife memorial fund was established in his name, headed by David Attenborough and Peter Scott
